His most famous representative is the Australian Kym Milne , who became known as the "flying winemaker" and is active all over the world, another is the Spanish oenologist Juan Mora , who mainly advises winemakers on Mallorca on viticulture. A talented winemaker can make decent wines from ordinary varieties and produces fabulous wines from first-class materials.
